It is so good to see you back looking happy and healthy. You looked so distraught in the last video of 2021 that I kept checking to be sure I hadn't missed an update. The time off seems to have served you well. Happy travels!
I’m no longer living RV life and have cancelled most of my RV UA-cam subscriptions. Your videos feel more like checking in on an old friend. Glad to see you looking so rested. 💚
Hi!😉 Congratulations on your Lance Camper! New fun, new challenges. We have a 2018 Lance 995 camper. A big boy but not as long as yours. Also on a one ton dually. We replaced it for full time living to a Lance 2465 trailer because I went to emergency falling out of the bed in the camper. Could not move my neck for 2 weeks. Fell off a stool trying to clean microwave above stove. If you are athletic and outdoorsy you will be fine ( and there is no good solution to getting in and out even when you buy new stairs, especially when on the truck.Too high) We still have our camper and when the stars are right we switch off for a vacation when we don't want to pull the trailer. I loved your last 5th wheel but for me, too much to clean and storage too high. My husband loves his camper and will never part with it and I hope you have as much fun with yours. Please be careful. Think I saw you in Hat Creek Ca at a truckstop for a moment. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part.
I am so happy for you! I made the same decision a couple years ago for the same reasons. I now keep my 40ft fifth wheel as a home base, but use the truck camper for all my traveling. At first I wondered if I was crazy, but now wouldn't go back. I LOVE IT. I can get into tons of places including parking easily. Here is my propane tip as I had the same problem: go buy 20lb bottles and use them instead of the big ones. Propane lasts a long time in truck campers so you won't notice the bottle size, but when you do have to fill up, they are so much easier to lift. Also, I got rid of my steps and bought a three step aluminum step ladder from Home Depot - wide steps, super light, and I can use it for doing things outside the rig. Anyway, have a wonderful time!
It's so nice to hear excitement in your voice again! You were my go-to person for all things RV when I first hit the road 3 years ago. I'm so happy you're back!
There are so many appealing things about a truck camper. I love the idea of being self contained, ready to go, and nimble. I’m so happy to have you back! Thanks for the video.
I'm so happy to see you traveling and enjoying your journey again. Sometimes we just need to hit pause, and reset some things in our lives. I love your truck camper. I know you will find lots and lots of beautiful places to explore and share with us. Happy Travels, be safe.
Your statement is so profound and so very true. It allows us to evaluate where we’ve been and where we’re going and to make necessary changes. Thank you
It's so good to see you again! So many changes in the last 2 years. I'm happy for you with your new truck camper. You seem free and happy again! Live it up!
Robin, We missed you sooo much. I am so excited that you are back. I love your truck camper even better than that fancy fifthwheel. Looking forward to a lot more great content from you going forward. You were my first nomad that I learned from ( after Bob Wells)
I purchased a thick felt purse liner from Amazon. Its rectangular and it use it for toiletries in my rig verses putting inside a handbag. Lots of pockets for organizing, has worked fabulous. I also modified a cutting board to cover the bathroom sink, much the same way a kitchen sink would be. The added counter space is great when needed. Wood Insert tucks away or hangs up easily.
Yay! Btw the convection oven would have taken the place of your air fryer. It's what makes your microwave an oven and the convection part means that it circulates hot air exactly like an air fryer : )
Your hairstyle and hair looks the best ever. Must admit your last video did not surprise me at all when you stated you got a new rig that it was going to be a truck camper...many seem to be going that way. Or that you and your boyfriend separated, hopefully you can still be good friends. Nice to see you're having fun....that's what it's all about after all! Be well, take care.
Robin, I’m so glad to see you back. It will be interesting to see how you change some of the things you aren’t fond of in Kermit. It will also be great to see more of your travels. The nomad life isn’t for me, but I DO like to travel and I travel on my own. So Veronica, my little teardrop allows me to more easily camp as I get older. Best to you. Susan from North Central Idaho.
I have missed you Robin!!! It is good to see you and Big Boy!! Love the new rig and looking forward to the future with you!! Take care and happy travels!!
Sweet rig Robin!! You will be able to get to awesome destinations now. Glad Big Boy loves his new home! Stay safe out there. Happy you are posting again after a much needed break. 🚚
Good to see you back on UA-cam. I know you like the new arrangement, but there are some things you aren't thrilled about. All they need to be is switched around (well "most" things can be) to your liking. God bless. Yeah, I thought that last RV you had was huge and not a lot of fun to move around...this is definitely better, and you are camping with friends...good! God bless, and I look forward to your next video. I'm glad I stayed subscribed!
Lance campers are the absolute highlight quantity and 4 season! You got a fantastic deal! I actually have considered buying one but my husband is disabled and couldn’t get up the height. Personally I’ve never seen one that didn’t have a wet bath, that is awesome! I have seen a few propane businesses that will open the door and just fill tanks but most businesses don’t. Hoping you continue to enjoy this set up and am looking forward to watching your future adventures! Just still happy to see you’re back! Toodles!
Have always loved your channel with all the great, honest, & useful info! When we decided to get an RV, your channel really gave us the confidence to move forward and do it. Even though we thought, and even started the paperwork to buy a fifth-wheel, we ended up getting a truck camper instead. But we could still relate & enjoy your videos, nice. But now that you got a camper, we cant’t wait to see what you do & where you go, YIPPY!!! This is gonna be fun, we know you bought the camper just to make us happier, thanks!
Hi Robyn, we haven't commented much on here, but we watch you religiously. We watched you before we even had an RV and we still watch you now. Great to see that you are well and back on the road. So glod you are happy. See you soon!
Wow, I never would've guessed a truck camper! I'm surprised how roomy it is. So did you keep the 5th wheel too and just leaving it stationary? I'm looking forward to next weeks video. Thanks for sharing your travels!
Hey lady welcome to the world of truck camper living! I live in an alpine light on my three quarter ton extended cab Silverado. One of the most important of skills 😜 I have mastered is truly appreciating the customer service I have been given at tractor supply for taking fantastic care of me for propane. Mine are 4lb horizontal tanks and I am 4'11"and 100lbs at 67 years young. I just passed my 5yr mark ‼️ Happy trails and stay level AND don't drive in high winds.💪. 🤗🇺🇦💙💛💜
I love it Robin! I've long thought this would be my choice of rigs if I ever decided to pull the trigger. I REALLY like that you've got access not only for the boy, but for yourself if you need to get our if there for safety reasons. And, having a truck as a separate unit from your home is another layer of securing your home should your truck need maintenance / repairs. I say it's a winner winner chicken dinner!
This is so awesome! I was thinking that maybe you went for a truck camper.....since you had the truck. Nice choice! Just to let you know, I'm so so happy your'e back. You have been such an inspiration for me to start my journey. I've gone through all the different types of rigs, checked and rechecked all the pros and cons of each and finally chose my bus. For me right now, what i want to do with this whole journey, it was the best choice. I'm still converting and when its just about finished the house will go up for sale and I'll be living in it full time. Being a solo female and doing 99.9 percent of the build myself is even impressing ME! lol So thank you for the new videos! Can't wait for more. Hope to meet you one day so I can personally thank you.
I have a Lance 2018, and love it. We went from Texas to Alaska. Truck campers are perfect for Alaska. Ours came with a solar panel mounted on the roof and it works very well. When you fill with propane drive the truck there and have them load and unload for you. FYI, we bought a new mattress. Hubby told the salesman if he wanted to make the sale, they had to take out the old mattress and put in the new one. YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS WITHOUT HELP! So I got an amazing pillow top mattress. You can also pull a small trailer for your bike and tubs and other misc stuff.
I love how your videos show the downside as well as the upside of RV living. Sugarcoating it helps no one. Even though you love your new rig, you acknowledge there are problems with it that you would like to see different. Real life, right?
It's great to see you are doing well, Robin! Kermit already looks comfy and I'm sure you will make adjustments as you go along so the partnership gets even better. I love how you name all your "helpers"...Igor is perfect, btw. I can't wait to see your new adventures and new helpful videos! I put the same foam tiles (larger size) in my 35 ft trailer with a layer of thin tri-fold siding insulation under it, and no more cold feet! My cats and dog love it too, and it's so much easier than carpet to keep clean.
Sometimes as we get older we realize we have become somewhat of a hoarder and it is so nice to downsize. Even in an RV you just find you don’t need as much as you thought you did. I love the camper. We have been thinking of getting a lil something to run around in also and I really love our ebikes- we got rid of our jeep we took with our RV. Now we just take the bikes. The Hollywood rack works great. I love that it doesn’t rattle around and the key is to everything, the hitch lock, the bike lock and the locks to keep the bike secure. I think you could do a lil Reno on that camper and make it more your style. I’m sure you’ll get to it when your ready. 😊
Robyn, it’s wonderful to see your old spark back. I hope Kermit is everything you hope he is. Maybe he needs you to paint a little green frog somewhere when you have a creative moment to spare? Love from South Australia. 🌈 🦘 🐨
Truck campers are awesome. I’ve had one since 2009. In 2020 I had the itch to upgrade to a bigger Arctic Fox. I decided it was the perfect time to sell my AF 811, and sold it for a lot more than I expected to. The same week, I bought a nice preowned 2018 AF 992.
Glad to see you back! Although we only P/T RV, we have learned a lot from your videos! Great tips and things we would have never thought of! Good luck with the new rig, and looking forward to future videos!!
Your energy and happiness is contagious. My husband and I have a 5th wheel as well and now that we’re older, we are thinking of downsizing. I’ve been looking at vans and yes, they are crazy expensive. The camper is a great solution.
We have a Lance. We put a folding shelf about the toilet so when we are getting ready we have more space and also put one in the kitchen area. Also, we added a rv swamp cooler because we travel with dogs and it runs off the inverter.
First, I have missed you ! Happy to see you well, happy n rested. I agree with you need to role with life n keep focusing on living the life you want. I totally understand that ! I know that sometimes we second guess ourselves but I wanted to say this to you… there is something very unique about you, your ability to share yourself with all of us. I never had so much fun n sense of purpose then sharing ourselves together in this journey of RV life. I am loving it 🥰 N I am very happy to see you again Living your life on your terms again ! God bless You never know we just might run into each other, plan on traveling this summer few trips in mind. Saving for gas ⛽️
I cannot express how happy I am that you're back, and happy! I love Kermit, he fits you perfectly.. Well kinda lol Being 5ft even, I understand! & Glad to see The Boy is loving the new digs as well
We owned a truck camper for years and towed a bass boat most of the time. Had so much fun in it. Now they come with bathrooms. Wow. So glad you are back on the road.
Welcome to the truck camper life! We have a 2014 Northstar Arrow U on a 2012 F350 shortbed SW 4WD truck. My husband and I live in it now full time since selling our house last summer. Your camper is much larger than ours, so we have to be very selective about what stuff we carry. One essential for us is a Clam screen tent which we set up when we stay at a campsite for awhile. It serves as our dining room/living room. Enjoy going to those off grid remote places you can get to now!
This is INCREDIBLE!!! It’s essentially like a van! This is Super inspiring to know campers look like this, as I’m more acquainted with the pop-up style of campers, that are more like hugely upgraded tents.
Getting my 2003 Honda Odyssey ready to live in, camp in and my cat - dog Lily is my biggest challenge! 🤣 Love your videos sweetie! So happy you did not get worse than a concussion! 💜
I traded my 5er for a Lance 865 three years ago. Hitching the 5er was much easier than loading the TC but driving is far easier in the TC...especially the gas stations. I still laugh pulling in willy nilly to any station and then taking any pump except leaving the end ones for people pulling. Same with my LP tank, can get it down, but not back up when full. I use the Little Giant step from Lowes. It is super useful around the house too because it has a sturdy handle that flips up for in the house. (I just turned 75 and take a phone with me when I climb a ladder at home now.)
Awwwww love this I want to hit the road looks like many of us do if we all bought a camper & lived our dream the highway would be cra cra !! Thx for sharing safe travels ❤️
We went from a fifth wheel to a truck camper for similar reasons.The 5th wheel is now the home base for summer and we snowbird as we live on the east coast of Canada. We had the truck and didn't want to tow and wanted to stay small. Ours is a 2007 Travel Lite on a 2014 Ram 2500. My hubby is 6' tall has to get on a step stool to get at the propane tanks. All rigs have their advantages and disadvantages.
Robin, I love your rig, and love your hair! Would love to know a bit about the gas consumption with/without the truck camper on board. Happy travels. Thanks for the video.
I totally understand it when you said you didn’t like to ask for assistance with your propane tanks. I now have severe spine problems. With major spine back Surgery happening soon. My point is, I’m now being offered help constantly, I know it’s because I look so very bad. Kind people offer help a lot, At first I declined, but then I realized they were offering me a act of kindness, more times than not it is younger men. Some as young as 15 some older than me I’m now 69, but it’s being offered out of kindness and they don’t mind at all. My lesson learned is I say a gracious thank you and I try to pay back when ever I can. I enjoyed your site I found by chance. But I wish you well and I’ll be sure to watch again be safe
YAY! YOUR BACK! LOOKING GREAT!! As you should notice, there are 72,000+ views on this page, cause we MISSED you so much!! So COOL that you are going the EASY WAY for a simpler life. Good to see THE BOY too!
Love the new rig ~ so happy for you Robin! And pleased to know you are back out on the road. I’ve been a full-time working nomad for a year and a half and I wish I could adequately express how much your videos, books, and overall outlook have inspired & helped me on this journey. See you down the road 🚐💨
Great having you back on the air. We love all your education and products you tell us about. We, wife, dog and 2 cats, are camp hosts at a state park. We have a lot of RVers that really need to learn camping etiquette, also since everything opened back up rules and camping site reservations have changed. Maybe you with your organizational skills could get a group of camp hosts from different areas together for a list of the new rules and park rules to help RVers to not get stuck without a place to park for a night. Our park has had our electric sites completely filled every night since the first week of February. We have to turn people away every night, no exaggeration, or have some dry sites to put them in but even those are filling up since the first of March.
Hey Rockin Robin (that just popped in my head😀) I love it!! Can’t wait to see all your adventures & the modifications you’ve made with solar,etc. I know nothing about camping (yet) is it possible to install lighter propane tanks? Looks like you have enough space to get rid of propane & just run everything off electric? I’ll check the comments for other suggestions 😊
hiya, yes, i could get a couple of baby tanks. my fridge and generator run off of propane so I need to have some, BUT that's exactly why I bit the bullet and had solar installed. Now I can use more electric power.
Just a note on the propane. Same beef 4 me. BUT! I have had them filled while in the camper. Trying to find the adapter to do so. I'm sure that motor home tanks are filled in place too?

Wow what a terrible purchase! You must of been drunk when you decided to get a truck camper! Now the real bet is how long you keep it before trading it in. I give it 6 months!
Welcome back and congratulations on your new Lance. My all-time favorite rig was a Lance camper on my old Dodge 2500 4x4. I am a displaced Alaskan and bought my truck from a former colleague and the Lance from the local dealer, who installed all the 'stuff' you will describe later. But that Lance was with me for years in all kinds of weather and topography, on- and off-road. I wish I still had it and will live vicariously through your journeys!
I love to see more people in truck campers, they have their problems like being very tall, having a high center of gravity, but you can fit so much in such a small space and go place no other campers can get to! Also, please give your cat a little smooch on his tiny forehead for me!
After spending too much time watching RV life videos. I have come to the conclusion that a solid truck and camper topper are the best way to go for me. One day I will be a Nomad.
Well, I guessed a van but a camper makes more sense since you already have a truck and need it if you need to move your 5th wheel. It's so nice having you back! I love your videos.
I love your new rig! I met a lady a few years ago while we were traveling and she has been traveling solo for 12 years. She had a really nice truck camper like yours and then she towed a small flat trailer behind her with one of those 3 wheel motorcycle things that she used to run to the store or run errands so that she didn't have to unhook her truck every time she needed to go somewhere. You definitely have some fun times ahead of you traveling with your new rig!! :-)
Be careful in cross winds. I had a Lance camper for over 15 years! But it got ruined while driving in 60mph crosswinds. It literally ripped the tie downs right out of the camper and it fell over on its side but stayed in the truck bed! After that the camper was all crooked and the whole thing actually tweaked the frame of the truck bed also! So just respect the wind!
AW.....sorry you had these emotional pains - I just had to smile at the way you described how you were going to show us your new rig for being zippier and traveling "alone.....again" ...and how you grinned, gritted your teeth, and cocked your head to the side - I just thought, yup. And as one other person said below, I feel like you are an old friend, and I worry about you if you are gone. This might be an odd question - but are you ever available to talk to me? I'm 69, and single, and been wondering about full time RV life for a long time. Blessings to you and stay safe! Maribeth in Wisconsin.
I am very happy for you! I have owned 2 truck campers in the past, and loved every second of it. Safe travels to you, and I am glad you are doing videos again.
Hi Robin. I am SO glad you are okay. Thank you for your new videos. Retired early last January due to COVID risks and am finally hitting the road in July with my Armadillo fiberglass travel trailer. Really look forward to checking out your old and new videos for pointers. Take care, Kate
A Truck camper was not was I was expecting after your cliff hanger last week, but this really is a great choice! I’m very happy for you Robin, and a little envious. After my husband passed, I sold our Northern Lite when I moved from our large property. Am currently part owner in a larger travel trailer, but am looking to go solo. Am currently leaning toward getting a Travato with the Lithium battery system, but another truck camper is still on the table too.
you have made the right choice!! We purchased a used BIGFOOT in 2014 and we LOVE the freedom and ease of traveling in "Bridget". You should make a trip to the NC coast ... we have an accordion stairs that we no longer use and we would love to sell it!! We also have 50 amp and water service if you should come our way!! Enjoy your channel and hope to hear from you!!!! We also have ebikes and a hollywood bike rack that is awesome. We would be happy to send photos! We just love RVing!!!
It is so good to see you back looking happy and healthy. You looked so distraught in the last video of 2021 that I kept checking to be sure I hadn't missed an update. The time off seems to have served you well. Happy travels!
Yes, me too.
I’m no longer living RV life and have cancelled most of my RV UA-cam subscriptions. Your videos feel more like checking in on an old friend. Glad to see you looking so rested. 💚
As a short woman too, I appreciate your honest comments about rig challenges. Glad you’re back!
Hi!😉 Congratulations on your Lance Camper! New fun, new challenges. We have a 2018 Lance 995 camper. A big boy but not as long as yours. Also on a one ton dually.

Great suggestions
It's so nice to hear excitement in your voice again! You were my go-to person for all things RV when I first hit the road 3 years ago. I'm so happy you're back!
Yay. I still refer to your videos for questions and refer so many new people to your page.
Holy cow, that’s a heck of a change! And that’s a really impressive layout for a truck camper, especially the full dry bath.
There are so many appealing things about a truck camper. I love the idea of being self contained, ready to go, and nimble. I’m so happy to have you back! Thanks for the video.
I'm so happy to see you traveling and enjoying your journey again. Sometimes we just need to hit pause, and reset some things in our lives.
I love your truck camper. I know you will find lots and lots of beautiful places to explore and share with us.
Happy Travels, be safe.
Your statement is so profound and so very true. It allows us to evaluate where we’ve been and where we’re going and to make necessary changes. Thank you
So happy for you congratulations
Your cat approves your new home - so sweet! Enjoy your new space & enjoy your ever-changing view! 💐
It's so good to see you again! So many changes in the last 2 years. I'm happy for you with your new truck camper. You seem free and happy again! Live it up!
I think this is a GREAT idea for you. Perfect for a solo. Happy you are back!
Robin, We missed you sooo much. I am so excited that you are back. I love your truck camper even better than that fancy fifthwheel. Looking forward to a lot more great content from you going forward. You were my first nomad that I learned from ( after Bob Wells)
I’ve really missed your videos. So glad you’re back! Looking forward to seeing your next adventures in the “new” rig!
Thanks so much!
I purchased a thick felt purse liner from Amazon. Its rectangular and it use it for toiletries in my rig verses putting inside a handbag. Lots of pockets for organizing, has worked fabulous. I also modified a cutting board to cover the bathroom sink, much the same way a kitchen sink would be. The added counter space is great when needed. Wood Insert tucks away or hangs up easily.
Kermit is adorable riding on Phil! Understand the high costs of vans I thought you had gotten. Completely get a quick ride mobility. Congratulations 🎊
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
So glad to hear you have been out and around, getting healthy and exploring! Welcome back.
While I ended up with a van I have been looking at truck campers since I was a kid. A Datsun pickup with a Chinook was my dream rig in 1976.
I was so excited to see you back! I was so worried that you were not OK… but you look wonderful❗️
So glad you’re back and doing well! Great ‘new’ camper! Thanks for all the encouragement and information!
Yay! Btw the convection oven would have taken the place of your air fryer. It's what makes your microwave an oven and the convection part means that it circulates hot air exactly like an air fryer : )
The best thing about this camper is being able to go anywhere you want. And thanks for being real about the challenges.
Your hairstyle and hair looks the best ever.
Must admit your last video did not surprise me at all when you stated you got a new rig that it was going to be a truck camper...many seem to be going that way.
Or that you and your boyfriend separated, hopefully you can still be good friends.
Nice to see you're having fun....that's what it's all about after all! Be well, take care.

I have missed you Robin!!! It is good to see you and Big Boy!! Love the new rig and looking forward to the future with you!! Take care and happy travels!!
Sweet rig Robin!! You will be able to get to awesome destinations now. Glad Big Boy loves his new home! Stay safe out there. Happy you are posting again after a much needed break. 🚚
That's the plan!
All that matters is the new places you can see and camp at. The inside is small but nature is vast.
Good to see you back on UA-cam. I know you like the new arrangement, but there are some things you aren't thrilled about. All they need to be is switched around (well "most" things can be) to your liking. God bless. Yeah, I thought that last RV you had was huge and not a lot of fun to move around...this is definitely better, and you are camping with friends...good! God bless, and I look forward to your next video. I'm glad I stayed subscribed!
Hi Betty, good to see you!
Lance campers are the absolute highlight quantity and 4 season! You got a fantastic deal! I actually have considered buying one but my husband is disabled and couldn’t get up the height. Personally I’ve never seen one that didn’t have a wet bath, that is awesome! I have seen a few propane businesses that will open the door and just fill tanks but most businesses don’t.
Hoping you continue to enjoy this set up and am looking forward to watching your future adventures!
Just still happy to see you’re back! Toodles!
So glad you got a truck camper. My goal is to get one when I retire. Looking forward to seeing your future videos.
So happy you are back. I’ve learned so much from you and looking for to your new journey ❤️

Good to see The Boy - I wondered about him and now I know he's fine. Love your camper!
When you said we wouldn't believe what you bought. I guessed exactly. I love it except, I want to be able to drive away without going outside.

I love it Robin! I've long thought this would be my choice of rigs if I ever decided to pull the trigger. I REALLY like that you've got access not only for the boy, but for yourself if you need to get our if there for safety reasons. And, having a truck as a separate unit from your home is another layer of securing your home should your truck need maintenance / repairs. I say it's a winner winner chicken dinner!
Hi 👋 Lisa, how are you doing?
This is so awesome! I was thinking that maybe you went for a truck camper.....since you had the truck. Nice choice! Just to let you know, I'm so so happy your'e back. You have been such an inspiration for me to start my journey. I've gone through all the different types of rigs, checked and rechecked all the pros and cons of each and finally chose my bus. For me right now, what i want to do with this whole journey, it was the best choice. I'm still converting and when its just about finished the house will go up for sale and I'll be living in it full time. Being a solo female and doing 99.9 percent of the build myself is even impressing ME! lol So thank you for the new videos! Can't wait for more. Hope to meet you one day so I can personally thank you.
I have a Lance 2018, and love it. We went from Texas to Alaska. Truck campers are perfect for Alaska. Ours came with a solar panel mounted on the roof and it works very well. When you fill with propane drive the truck there and have them load and unload for you. FYI, we bought a new mattress. Hubby told the salesman if he wanted to make the sale, they had to take out the old mattress and put in the new one. YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS WITHOUT HELP! So I got an amazing pillow top mattress. You can also pull a small trailer for your bike and tubs and other misc stuff.
I love how your videos show the downside as well as the upside of RV living. Sugarcoating it helps no one. Even though you love your new rig, you acknowledge there are problems with it that you would like to see different. Real life, right?
So glad to have you back. Enjoy having my Sunday morning coffee with you. Happy Sunday. 💜😎😎
Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?
It's great to see you are doing well, Robin! Kermit already looks comfy and I'm sure you will make adjustments as you go along so the partnership gets even better. I love how you name all your "helpers"...Igor is perfect, btw. I can't wait to see your new adventures and new helpful videos!
I put the same foam tiles (larger size) in my 35 ft trailer with a layer of thin tri-fold siding insulation under it, and no more cold feet! My cats and dog love it too, and it's so much easier than carpet to keep clean.
Sometimes as we get older we realize we have become somewhat of a hoarder and it is so nice to downsize. Even in an RV you just find you don’t need as much as you thought you did. I love the camper. We have been thinking of getting a lil something to run around in also and I really love our ebikes- we got rid of our jeep we took with our RV. Now we just take the bikes. The Hollywood rack works great. I love that it doesn’t rattle around and the key is to everything, the hitch lock, the bike lock and the locks to keep the bike secure. I think you could do a lil Reno on that camper and make it more your style. I’m sure you’ll get to it when your ready. 😊
Robyn, it’s wonderful to see your old spark back. I hope Kermit is everything you hope he is. Maybe he needs you to paint a little green frog somewhere when you have a creative moment to spare?

Truck campers are awesome. I’ve had one since 2009. In 2020 I had the itch to upgrade to a bigger Arctic Fox. I decided it was the perfect time to sell my AF 811, and sold it for a lot more than I expected to. The same week, I bought a nice preowned 2018 AF 992.
Glad to see you back! Although we only P/T RV, we have learned a lot from your videos! Great tips and things we would have never thought of! Good luck with the new rig, and looking forward to future videos!!
Welcome back! We full-time in a Host truck camper. We’ve been in it for 10 months. We love it. It’s just about perfect.
Your energy and happiness is contagious. My husband and I have a 5th wheel as well and now that we’re older, we are thinking of downsizing. I’ve been looking at vans and yes, they are crazy expensive. The camper is a great solution.
I’ve been with you AWHILE, and this is my fav rig so far! Congrats!
Yessss. I've been wanting to trade my C to a truck camper to have one less vehicle to pay taxes on. Look forward to this and so glad you are back. ❤️
Yes! excellent point.
We have a Lance. We put a folding shelf about the toilet so when we are getting ready we have more space and also put one in the kitchen area. Also, we added a rv swamp cooler because we travel with dogs and it runs off the inverter.
Glad you’re back! We had a nice truck camper years ago and loved it. We think you’ll enjoy it.
Being able to take camper on & off any time anywhere is greatest feature of slide in campers, truck by day & camper max 30min max later driving away.
Love. Exactly what we camped in growing up - and I’ve been thinking of this as an option again. Better than towing.
First,
I have missed you !
Happy to see you well, happy n rested.
I agree with you need to role with life n keep focusing on living the life you want.
I totally understand that !
I know that sometimes we second guess ourselves but I wanted to say this to you… there is something very unique about you, your ability to share yourself with all of us. I never had so much fun n sense of purpose then sharing ourselves together in this journey of RV life.
I am loving it 🥰
N I am very happy to see you again
Living your life on your terms again !
God bless
You never know we just might run into each other, plan on traveling this summer few trips in mind.
Saving for gas ⛽️
I cannot express how happy I am that you're back, and happy! I love Kermit, he fits you perfectly.. Well kinda lol Being 5ft even, I understand! & Glad to see The Boy is loving the new digs as well
We owned a truck camper for years and towed a bass boat most of the time. Had so much fun in it. Now they come with bathrooms. Wow. So glad you are back on the road.
Enjoy your knew home and those beautiful, remote locals! Safe travels! 🌻
Thanks so much!
Welcome to the truck camper life! We have a 2014 Northstar Arrow U on a 2012 F350 shortbed SW 4WD truck. My husband and I live in it now full time since selling our house last summer. Your camper is much larger than ours, so we have to be very selective about what stuff we carry. One essential for us is a Clam screen tent which we set up when we stay at a campsite for awhile. It serves as our dining room/living room. Enjoy going to those off grid remote places you can get to now!
Nice to see! I wondered about truck campers and how difficult or easy it is to set up. It is so nice you can get into the back secluded areas now.
Hi 👋 Debbie, how are you doing?
This is INCREDIBLE!!! It’s essentially like a van! This is Super inspiring to know campers look like this, as I’m more acquainted with the pop-up style of campers, that are more like hugely upgraded tents.
Getting my 2003 Honda Odyssey ready to live in, camp in and my cat - dog Lily is my biggest challenge! 🤣 Love your videos sweetie! So happy you did not get worse than a concussion! 💜
I traded my 5er for a Lance 865 three years ago. Hitching the 5er was much easier than loading the TC but driving is far easier in the TC...especially the gas stations. I still laugh pulling in willy nilly to any station and then taking any pump except leaving the end ones for people pulling. Same with my LP tank, can get it down, but not back up when full. I use the Little Giant step from Lowes. It is super useful around the house too because it has a sturdy handle that flips up for in the house. (I just turned 75 and take a phone with me when I climb a ladder at home now.)
Awwwww love this I want to hit the road looks like many of us do if we all bought a camper & lived our dream the highway would be cra cra !! Thx for sharing safe travels ❤️
We went from a fifth wheel to a truck camper for similar reasons.The 5th wheel is now the home base for summer and we snowbird as we live on the east coast of Canada. We had the truck and didn't want to tow and wanted to stay small. Ours is a 2007 Travel Lite on a 2014 Ram 2500. My hubby is 6' tall has to get on a step stool to get at the propane tanks. All rigs have their advantages and disadvantages.
Robin, I love your rig, and love your hair! Would love to know a bit about the gas consumption with/without the truck camper on board. Happy travels. Thanks for the video.
I totally understand it when you said you didn’t like to ask for assistance with your propane tanks. I now have severe spine problems. With major spine back
Surgery happening soon. My point is, I’m now being offered help constantly, I know it’s because I look so very bad. Kind people offer help a lot, At first I declined, but then I realized they were offering me a act of kindness, more times than not it is younger men. Some as young as 15 some older than me I’m now 69, but it’s being offered out of kindness and they don’t mind at all. My lesson learned is I say a gracious thank you and I try to pay back when ever I can. I enjoyed your site I found by chance. But I wish you well and I’ll be sure to watch again be safe
Happy you're back. Thanks for the tour. Take care. ❤️🐈
Thank you! You too!
YAY! YOUR BACK! LOOKING GREAT!! As you should notice, there are 72,000+ views on this page, cause we MISSED you so much!! So COOL that you are going the EASY WAY for a simpler life. Good to see THE BOY too!
Love the new rig ~ so happy for you Robin! And pleased to know you are back out on the road. I’ve been a full-time working nomad for a year and a half and I wish I could adequately express how much your videos, books, and overall outlook have inspired & helped me on this journey. See you down the road 🚐💨
Great having you back on the air. We love all your education and products you tell us about.
We, wife, dog and 2 cats, are camp hosts at a state park. We have a lot of RVers that really need to learn camping etiquette, also since everything opened back up rules and camping site reservations have changed.
Maybe you with your organizational skills could get a group of camp hosts from different areas together for a list of the new rules and park rules to help RVers to not get stuck without a place to park for a night.
Our park has had our electric sites completely filled every night since the first week of February. We have to turn people away every night, no exaggeration, or have some dry sites to put them in but even those are filling up since the first of March.
Hey Rockin Robin (that just popped in my head😀) I love it!! Can’t wait to see all your adventures & the modifications you’ve made with solar,etc. I know nothing about camping (yet) is it possible to install lighter propane tanks? Looks like you have enough space to get rid of propane & just run everything off electric? I’ll check the comments for other suggestions 😊
hiya, yes, i could get a couple of baby tanks. my fridge and generator run off of propane so I need to have some, BUT that's exactly why I bit the bullet and had solar installed. Now I can use more electric power.
@@CreativityRV 🙌🏽🙌🏽sounds good 😊
Just a note on the propane. Same beef 4 me. BUT! I have had them filled while in the camper. Trying to find the adapter to do so.
I'm sure that motor home tanks are filled in place too?
@@gweger6425 Wow, if you could give her that info that would be awesome! Thanks for the tip that there's an adapter! Have a great day!
Boy...that was just meant to be! In your town, had everything you wanted. Congratulations!!

Have you looked at the Camp Lite brand of truck campers.
Wow what a terrible purchase! You must of been drunk when you decided to get a truck camper! Now the real bet is how long you keep it before trading it in. I give it 6 months!
@@oceanbreeze1397 BS! LOVE LOVE LOVE MINE! 7 years now
@@oceanbreeze1397 why are you trolling this sweet genuine women? STOP!!!
I love the SIDE door. This is the kind I would get too! I have a bike I want to put on the back like you did!
Welcome back and congratulations on your new Lance. My all-time favorite rig was a Lance camper on my old Dodge 2500 4x4. I am a displaced Alaskan and bought my truck from a former colleague and the Lance from the local dealer, who installed all the 'stuff' you will describe later. But that Lance was with me for years in all kinds of weather and topography, on- and off-road. I wish I still had it and will live vicariously through your journeys!
I love to see more people in truck campers, they have their problems like being very tall, having a high center of gravity, but you can fit so much in such a small space and go place no other campers can get to! Also, please give your cat a little smooch on his tiny forehead for me!
After spending too much time watching RV life videos. I have come to the conclusion that a solid truck and camper topper are the best way to go for me. One day I will be a Nomad.
Well, I guessed a van but a camper makes more sense since you already have a truck and need it if you need to move your 5th wheel. It's so nice having you back! I love your videos.
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
You look great! Proof that hitting pause and reset is good for the soul. I love the truck camper! It’s perfect for you and The Boy.
Remember how people used to get hay up in the hay loft? Get you a 8'' pulley and a swivel mount with a large s hook and walla, no more lifting tanks.
I love your new rig! I met a lady a few years ago while we were traveling and she has been traveling solo for 12 years. She had a really nice truck camper like yours and then she towed a small flat trailer behind her with one of those 3 wheel motorcycle things that she used to run to the store or run errands so that she didn't have to unhook her truck every time she needed to go somewhere. You definitely have some fun times ahead of you traveling with your new rig!! :-)
I had a feeling it was a Lance. Morton’s on the Move have had good luck with their Lance. I think it is just perfect.
Awesome camper. My first was a cab-over. You look great and you sound excited and passionate again. Glad you're back❣️❣️
Hi 👋dear, how are you doing?
You won't be disappointed. We have the Lance 1086. We love it. 2 slides, you will love it
Be careful in cross winds. I had a Lance camper for over 15 years! But it got ruined while driving in 60mph crosswinds. It literally ripped the tie downs right out of the camper and it fell over on its side but stayed in the truck bed! After that the camper was all crooked and the whole thing actually tweaked the frame of the truck bed also! So just respect the wind!
AW.....sorry you had these emotional pains - I just had to smile at the way you described how you were going to show us your new rig for being zippier and traveling "alone.....again" ...and how you grinned, gritted your teeth, and cocked your head to the side - I just thought, yup. And as one other person said below, I feel like you are an old friend, and I worry about you if you are gone. This might be an odd question - but are you ever available to talk to me? I'm 69, and single, and been wondering about full time RV life for a long time. Blessings to you and stay safe! Maribeth in Wisconsin.
Robin, You look totally Revitalized! And full of energy. SO glad your back. I so enjoy learning from you. Thank you..
I am very happy for you! I have owned 2 truck campers in the past, and loved every second of it. Safe travels to you, and I am glad you are doing videos again.
I've been watching you a couple years now! I started when I was living full time in my Northern Lite 10-2.
Glad to see you are still enjoying life!
You didn't need to buy the attachment to the Instapot, just use the convection on the microwave. It's great!
Fantastic for you. Thanks for showing us around. Take care 👍🥰
I miss your big, beautiful 5th wheel, but I recognize how your current setup is more comfortable for you. I wish you happy travels!
Hi Robin. I am SO glad you are okay. Thank you for your new videos. Retired early last January due to COVID risks and am finally hitting the road in July with my Armadillo fiberglass travel trailer. Really look forward to checking out your old and new videos for pointers. Take care, Kate
LANCE! and Truck camper!!! WOW!!!! You've been reading my mind... Lance is the best for the price!
A Truck camper was not was I was expecting after your cliff hanger last week, but this really is a great choice! I’m very happy for you Robin, and a little envious. After my husband passed, I sold our Northern Lite when I moved from our large property. Am currently part owner in a larger travel trailer, but am looking to go solo. Am currently leaning toward getting a Travato with the Lithium battery system, but another truck camper is still on the table too.
RIGHT ON!! We have a 2013 Lance Camper!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE ours!! FANTASTIC CHOICE!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I never would have guessed you'd have that! Your rig is 2 ft longer than our class B+. It's way nicer than the old truckbed campers of the past!
you have made the right choice!! We purchased a used BIGFOOT in 2014 and we LOVE the freedom and ease of traveling in "Bridget". You should make a trip to the NC coast ... we have an accordion stairs that we no longer use and we would love to sell it!! We also have 50 amp and water service if you should come our way!! Enjoy your channel and hope to hear from you!!!!
We also have ebikes and a hollywood bike rack that is awesome. We would be happy to send photos! We just love RVing!!!
So glad you're back at it... can't wait to watch more and live vicariously through you 🙂😊
